A yellow cake with chocolate frosting reminds me of my mama’s old fashion pound cake, simple and scrumptious!
This cake is just as easy peasy and I’ve made it even easier to whip this yummy yum up in a flash. Once you have a forkful of this cake, it will surely become a favorite in your recipe box.
Time is precious and I know you have more important matters to attend to other than measuring a lot of ingredients for a delicious satisfying confection that looks and tastes like scratched baked. Trust me, I know how to spend a morning in a hot kitchen whipping up to die for delights but the experienced baker in me says “use your science skills and re-create the real deal without all the work!
Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is a classic and a winning combination of chocolate butter cream frosting and moist butter cake. Grab your printable recipe card and bake up some old fashion goodness.
Until next time,
Enjoy!

- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3 extra large eggs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 package of vanilla instant pudding and pie filing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of soften butter
- 1 cup of water
- Frosting:
- Yields about 3 cups
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup butter
- 2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until all ingredients are well incorporated. Evenly distribute batter into two 8’” greased and floured cake pans. Bake on 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Frosting:
- Sift powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Combine chocolate morsels, milk, and butter in a large saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat; pour over powdered sugar and blend ingredients together until smooth. Place the bowl of frosting in a bowl of ice. Beat at medium speed until frosting holds its shape. (The ice helps to cool the frosting and form its shape.)
